Events

    Lit Fest

    Lit Fest is a two-week celebration of the art and craft of writing. There are weeklong and weekend workshops for advanced writers of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and dramatic writing; additional weekend workshops for writers of various levels and genres; one-time seminars on particular topics; readings; salons; and parties galore. 

    Visiting Authors Series

    The Visiting Author Series brings recognized authors to Lighthouse to share their experience and advice, usually in the form of a two-hour craft talk followed by a reading and reception. Filter for "visiting authors" in the keyword box to see who's coming next.

    Several times a year, Lighthouse Writers Workshop brings nationally recognized authors to Denver for exciting on-stage interviews and in-depth craft seminars.

    Retreats

    Lighthouse currently offers two annual writing retreats: Grand Lake, in the scenic mountain town of Grand Lake, Colorado, and the Rekindle Retreat in Juneau, Alaska.
